A Family Reunion Amidst Danger
Professor Ratigan Ah, Mr. Flaversham.
Professor Ratigan Allow me to present… …your charming daughter!
[Ratigan moves his cape to reveal Olivia in Fidget's grasp.]
Hiram Flaversham Olivia!
Olivia Flaversham Father!
Fidget Owww! My foot, my only foot!
Hiram Flaversham Oh, there, there, there, there, my bairn. I’m all right. Oh, I was so worried about my little girl.
Professor Ratigan Oh, how sweet. Oh, I just love tearful reunions. Now, come along, my dear.
[He pretends to wipe at his eyes with his handkerchief, crying.; The rat then grabs the young girl back.]
Olivia Flaversham Oh please! Please! Father!
[She reaches out towards Flaversham as Fidget takes her away.]
Fidget's Checklist and Basil's Commands
Fidget Get the following. Tools, check. I got tools. Gears, double check. I got gears. Girl… No, didn’t get girl. Uniforms… I got plenty of uniforms! Oh, no, oh, no. I gotta hide! I gotta hide! Ooh, I gotta hide!
[Remembering he does not have Olivia yet, he makes a check and then erases it.; Chuckles; He chuckles again, and is then startled as Toby howls outside.; Fidget grabs the hats from the soldiers and stuffs them into his bag. He jumps on top of a clown toy and onto a higher shelf, as the list flutters in front of the toy soldiers without him noticing.]
Basil of Baker Street Splendid job, Toby!
Basil of Baker Street Now Toby…sit!
Basil of Baker Street Toby, sit.
Olivia Flaversham Sit, Toby.
Basil of Baker Street Good boy. If you’ll excuse me.
[Moving past Olivia…]
Olivia Flaversham You be good now. We’re going to find my father.
[To Toby]
Basil of Baker Street Ah-ha! Here is our friend’s entrance.
A Conversation on Music and Introspection
Basil of Baker Street And not a word out of you. Is that clear?
Sherlock Holmes I observe that there’s a good deal of German music on the program. It is introspective, and I want to introspect.
Dr. Watson But Holmes, that music is so frightfully dull.
Sherlock Holmes Come along.
Basil of Baker Street Toby? Toby?
Olivia Flaversham Who is Toby?
Dr. David Q. Dawson Well my dear, Toby is… well, he’s uh, uh…
Dr. David Q. Dawson I say, Basil, who is this Toby chap?
Intriguing Case of a Missing Toy Maker
Basil of Baker Street This case is most intriguing with its multiplicity of elements…its many twists and turns. Now, you’re certain you’ve told me everything? The slightest detail may be important.
[He turns to Olivia.]
Olivia Flaversham It’s just as I said. And then my father was gone.
Dr. David Q. Dawson What do you make of it?
Basil of Baker Street Hmm. Ratigan’s up to something. A crime of the most sinister nature no doubt. The question is…what would he want with a toy maker?
[begins to pace as Olivia follows him.]
Olivia Flaversham Aaaaaaah!
Basil of Baker Street Quickly, Dawson, we’ve not a moment to lose!
Dr. David Q. Dawson Uh, uh I’m right behind you, Basil.
Dr. David Q. Dawson No sign of the blackguard anywhere.
